Description
This is Knight-Captain Melina in her armor, leader of the guards at Valen's Estate, where the Princess lives. Standing outside of the Royal Quarters, she is in her usual foul mood whenever she's not in the arms of her lover. The Princess is inside, having dinner with the Sovereign, as they typically do once a week, as more of a formality than anything else. Melina knows the Princess is longing for her just as much as she for her. She hated those formal occasions with her aging father, and only complied because otherwise the King would disown her.Melina stands impatiently in front of the building, with conflicting emotions, her body both visibly shaking from the anger of being away from her lover, and also aroused from the thoughts of what she would do with the Princess later tonight, like hugging her, holding her tightly in her arms, and slipping into her bed as soon as the King went back to his Castle. Some other guards, also keeping watch over parts of the compound, notice Melina's anxiety, but they all know better than to dare say a word, knowing how volatile her emotions are...

So, let's get deeper into this character. (Ho ha, pardon the pun.) Is this the maximum level of clothing Melina ever wears?
When painting a character I prefer that at least 50 % of their bodies are covered in clothes, because cool outfits are what I like to do. The only acceptable price for a commission is inspiration -- sure, it's fun to draw a semi-naked babe, but it goes against my style, and if it's against my style, I can't find joy doing it.
Sales pitch haggling, please?

Hehe well that's the most I've done with her. She is the Captain of the princess's guard so I guess she could also have a more formal outfit she could wear when the King comes to visit. If I had to think what that outfit would be, I'd have to say it would still be sexy and as revealing as she could get away with, yet it would have to accentuate her fit body. She wouldn't wear a dress for example, but full pants, and a top maybe made of leather, bare arms, maybe with wristbands. Perhaps something in purple?

I've been 18 hours up, I had just two hours of sleep last night, AND I managed to dislocated my right hand. Why I'm not tired? I guess this means I'm inspired. Shrug.
I make no promises because with my luck, my computer breaks down, or my neighbors come and kill me, or a gamma ray burst from a hypernova explosion fries our ozone layer.
But yeah, I'm considering this. If I do her (um, PAINT her) she's gonna be exactly 50% dressed, OK? And the amount of undress would include bare hands and bare feet because I like painting those. (Because we're hoppin' around "sexy"-ground, I will add that there are no strange fetish-reasons, but artistic.)
Do you have any other pictures of her I could use as a reference?

Oh ya, tons: [link]
Thanks for considering her. I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job!

This may be too early to say - at this point, many things can go wrong - but yes, I have a very curiously dressed, very tough-looking girl shaping up. It's possible, if all goes well, that I can upload the finished Melina in 24 hours! IF all goes well...
Will be fun to see if you find a way to dress her into THAT uniform in your 3D-art.
I've no idea how these 3d-rendering programs work, or how you do these pictures (definitely high quality, btw), but I'm interested in them. Have you any informative links to give?

I'm excited, can't wait to see her
The way I do things is a bit different, but if you just wanna get started with 3D you can look at the stuff sold at DAZ3D [link]

Thanks for the link.
I'm not going to challenge any of you 3d-artists. I'm just trying to find good tools that would aid me in my ambitious graphic novel project. Got to finish that before I go and croak!

Np! Keep drawing too, you're doing great!

No, no! Don't get excited! This is exactly why I shouldn't do any "hey I do your pic"-revelations before I know if they work or not...
I think she's turning out pretty good, though.
Had a question: In your pictures Melina has these dense, Bruce Lee-ish muscles. In my version her thighs are Chun-Li caliber. She's been doing some bodybuilding - hope you don't mind! (I'd hate to ruin those fantastic shiny skintight pants I managed to paint! 
Also... what is her staff exactly? How does she maim people with it? Blunt, cut, magic...?

Have faith in yourself, I'm sure you'll pull out something great
Her staff is made of very solid metal. She just uses it as a blunt two-hander staff to strike at people. The strange shape is just because it also serves as an official type staff to represent the house of Valen.. or something.

Now entering the phase: "clean up and detail". If no power outages kill me and/or my machine, ETA should be about 2 hours.
Maybe I'm going to make a little test. When uploading artwork one can add keywords for the search engine. What if I go and tag (truthful!) words "boobs", "sexy", "tight", "muscle", "feet", "babe" in it? Would be fascinating to see if there's a pageview boost over norm. I'd really go lol if so.
By the way... Do you mind if I feed my Melina pic into some appropriate groups in the future? She's your character, so it's your say.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, the keywords help but only very slightly. What helps most are groups and nudity, plain and simple. And of course you can submit it around, I don't mind. I'm just eager to see it.

I like how your characters have natural skin textures. Way too many characters in the modern digital art are made "pretty" with unnatural, pearl-white skin.
So, do you want freckles?
(Secondly... should I join Girl-Power? I think Valkyria, Chun-Li and Ninja Kick have what it takes, and all are still sans group.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think freckles would work as long as its sparse and not too visible.
And of course you should join my group, I'll even submit them for you

Poor Melina.. I know she does not like the pity, but is easy to see that it's waging a war within.

If that's her armor then any loincloth I wear is made of steel. lol And as far Melina's anxiety...the princess won't be the only pleasing Melina tonight.

I don't know if you could handle her attitude

I've dealt with a succubus who tried to suck the life outta me. But, when she realized how mazing I pleased her, she called on two more sucuubi and then told me I was to never leave her palace. Whenever I tried to esccape she'd torture, and not in a good way. What mad it worse was she knew the weakspots on dragon and they happen to be the same on humans that can turn into them. Took me a month to heal those wounds. After escaping I went back with new demon powers and an alternate demon dragon form which was able to subdue the same succubi that tortured and made them BEG for forgiveness...and more.
